Sky-High Total in Warriors-Rockets at Toyota Center

The Golden State Warriors are approaching the 60-win mark and are squarely focused on locking up the top spot in the Western Conference with home-court advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs. Things won’t be easy tonight, however, as the Dubs will travel to the Lone Star State to tangle with the West’s No. 3 team, the Houston Rockets. Sportsbooks opened the Rockets as slight 1-point home chalk with a total of 237.

Shark Bites
  • The Rockets are 1-6 SU and ATS in their last seven games as a favorite of 1.5 or less.
  • The total has gone OVER in 10 of the Rockets' last 13 games at home.
  • The Warriors are 17-3 SU in their last 20 games against the Rockets.

The Warriors initially struggled in the absence of Kevin Durant, but they’re riding a seven-game winning streak heading into this one. Head coach Steve Kerr has stated he doesn’t plan on resting his superstars down the stretch, so Golden State should continue to be a reliable bet in the final month of the campaign.

Houston has won four straight and seven of its last eight games thanks to the MVP-worthy performances of James Harden. Harden is averaging 36 points, 12.2 assists and 8.6 rebounds while shooting 50 percent from the field over the last five games. Harden was named Western Conference Player of the Week on Monday.

The teams split the first two meetings of the season, with Golden State earning a 125-108 triumph at Houston on January 20. Durant notched 32 in that tilt.
